Beretta Pico 380 is +P rated?

otasan The only way to get +p .380s is to carefully reload your .380 cartridges

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

I am just unaware of any +p .380 factory rounds

Here is a link with a few manufacturers of 380 ammo. Some clearly publish a Plus P rating for their ammo.

+P claim, as in advertising hype, or warning that their ammo exceeds SAAMI recognized safe pressure.
All but one, Magtech, being boutique ammo producers targeting people that bought the wrong gun for what they want in the first place. If SAAMI recognised 380 isn't powerful enough, get a 9MM.
As to 380acp guns "rated" for so called +P ammo, and that being a sign of the "robust", all metal Pico, The oft scorned, and maligned "plastic" Kel-Tec P3at is also rated for +P as per their owner's Manual.
Not dissing the Pico, it is a great looking little gun.
Might get one myself some day if the price is right, and I have the often recurring new gun urge.
